Robot Budtenders to Replace Humans

All introverted stoners
rejoice! If you are not a person to seek human company when buying
weed, there is a solution for you that does not require speaking with
anyone!

Many people know firsthand
the unpleasant nervous shivers that run through your body when you
enter a dispensary and face a budtender. Human interaction is a
tricky thing that can be quite uncomfortable
for introverts. The need to come up to a budtender and ask them
numerous questions about the product you want to buy seems dreadful
to some of us.

The good news is that one
cannabis technology company has decided to eliminate this problem
once and for all. Phoenix-based American Green has created a vending
machine that uses biometric verification to sell marijuana. In
theory, this device can be used to sell any goods. It has great
potential with alcohol, cigarettes, casino chips, and even guns.
However, the company decided to remain in the cannabis industry, for
now at least.

Three Incredible Weed Innovations Everyone Wants to See in Near Future

The future of marijuana is almost upon us. The innovations in the weed tech world continue to wow the enthusiasts across the nation, and nothing suggests that the progress will slow anytime soon.

American Green named its
creation ZaZZZ. The device was first presented at a Las Vegas
convention in April. The use of the new invention has not been
approved in any state yet; however, many experts predict its
popularity in such states as California that allow cannabis sales
outside of the licensed dispensaries.

It is said that the
machine can scan people not only for
age but valid doctor prescriptions as well. The prototype can screen
buyers and access their accounts for identification and doctor's
prescription. The device scans a customer's
finger and is equipped with a camera. A member of the National
Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, Erik Altieri, says
that the device can make the experience more comfortable for the
customers, and they will not “run into their pastor or kindergarten
teacher outside a dispensary."

The main concern of the
company is security. It is prepared for various situations that can
happen including a person using someone else’s cut-off finger! The
company says that this devious plan will not work because the scanner
examines the vein architecture; it means that it
will detect if there is no blood
circulation and will not show the results.

Though the machine seems
to be a high-tech innovation, it is not the
first device to automatically sell cannabis. Some vending machines
are already operating. For example, in 2015
in Seattle, a similar machine, also
operated by American Green, was introduced. Last year, Vancouver also
acquired a “budtender.” The only difference is that these “old”
devices are always accompanied by an
individual who checks the IDs.

Hopefully, ZaZZZ will
appear in every state soon, and we will be able to
enjoy the privacy of buying weed.

Three Reasons You Should Buy Weed With Bitcoins

The first medical marijuana dispensary in the United States opened in California back in 1996. Since then, the growth of the cannabis industry has rapidly accelerated. While 25 states have already legalized marijuana, major banks and credit card companies still refuse to do business with growers, distributors, and dispensaries.

The legalization of marijuana has not led to an increase of weed use among teenagers, and many are wondering why. Looking for the reasons, researchers have concluded that modern teens are too preoccupied with mobile apps to do drugs.

Cannabis has been so popular lately that it may be even considered mainstream. The 420 trend has entered almost all spheres of our life. Even people who do not smoke cannabis and have nothing to do with it know the latest news about the plant.

Just two years ago, no one would even imagine that they would get crazy over Pokémon. C'mon, those times are over, we are adults now! But Pokémon Go has quickly conquered the hearts of people of all ages. Moreover, this ingenious game found a new way to make people more active than ever.
